Inside the Red Termite Cave

Ban excitedly ran towards the first Red Cave Rock he spotted after a few minutes of searching.

The Red Cave Rock was embedded in the ground. It was said that it became like that due to the Red Termite digging a small hole first before they discharge their waste.

Ban came closer to the embedded Red Cave Rock and without wasting any more time, he tried to dig it out of the ground.

However, just as the Red Cave Rock was about to get dislodged, he suddenly notices a sudden movement on his side.

Swish!

Something tore through the air and because of low visibility, Ban was not able to see it clearly.

Boom!

The next moment, a boom was heard as Ban realized that Eva was already in front of him, blocking something that looks like a hairy insect leg.

Ban did not sit idle as he realized that they were ambushed. He ordered little Eva to retreat as he also did the same by taking a few steps back.

Little Eva used a force not befitting that of an X-Mortal Beast to push away the insect leg that tried to attack Ban. She then retreated to Ban's side swiftly the moment she successfully pushed the insect leg away.

"Combat Form!" Ban shouted, ordering little Eva to transform to her combat form immediately.

A light glow could be seen emerging from little Eva's body as her form instantly changed into that of her combat form.

Her crystal thin wings flap a dozen times as she hissed at the perpetrator that ambushed Ban to issue a warning.

Her crown glowed for a moment as an aura that could only be felt from those high-ranking beasts ooze out of her.

The Beast somehow trembled for a moment after feeling her aura change, but it later calmed down when it realized that she was still a youngling even though she was already a Lord Grade Beast.

The transformation transpired in an instant. No time was wasted as Ban also checked the [Book of Techniques] All About Them, for the perpetrator's description.

[Successful! Beast recognize as the Rogue Red Termites!

Ranks: X- Mortal to E- Elite!

Grade: Elite!

Castaway by their tribes, Rogue Red Termites tend to go above their lair to hunt for prey.

Rogue Red Termites are the second evolution of the Red Termites. After the evolution, they would no longer feel satisfied with the minerals that they gnaw all day long when they were still a Red Termite.

They would go to the surface and try to hunt beasts and other live creatures they could spot.

A successful evolution or demotion, the Red Termite chose to cast them away as they prepared to gnaw the tasty minerals deep underground while leaving Red Cave Rock behind.

Strength: Strong front legs that could break rocks in one strike.

Weaknesses: Large head and small thorax reduced their agility by a large margin.

[Skills]: ...

Method to Contract: …

The information about the Rogue Red Termites was downloaded in Ban's brain along with the Red Termite's information.

Ban sucked a mouthful of air to calm himself as he stared at the Rogue Red Termite that is barely visible due to the dim environment.

He was a little nervous at first but after knowing what kind of Beast it was, the unknown feeling that he felt earlier was now gone.

There was a saying in the City that the unknown is the most terrifying. He now believed it as he experienced it first hand earlier.

"Little Eva, use Sensor!"

Krrr! Krrr! Krrr!

Little Eva instantly used the [Skill] Sensor. Her two antennae stiffened and their tips glowed with a light hue.

Thirty seconds passed in the blink of an eye and little Eva instantly reported what she witnessed to Ban.

"What? There's two of them?" Ban gasped in shock.

However, he soon calmed himself down as he realized that he has nothing to be afraid of. They even managed to kill the Lord Grade Night Worm how much more this Rogue Red Termites that are only at Elite Grade.

Not to mention, he and Eva were now stronger than before.

The second Rogue Red Termite appeared just beside the previous one that attacked Ban. It was smaller than the previous one and Ban thought that it was due to it being younger.

Too bad he could not see their status just like what he can do to his own Summon, or else he might be able to discern which is stronger.

Reinforce! Reinforce!

Ban used his new [Skill] Reinforce twice to buff little Eva's defense. If it was before, stacking it was not possible, however, due to him ascending to the next Rank, it could now be stacked on the same Summon two times.

Little Eva's body glowed with a golden light when Ban finished casting the [Skill]. He nodded his head as he felt that she's now safer than before.

He chose to buff her two times as he thought that the Rogue Red Termites [Skill] Bullet Strike, was a little problematic.

It is a powerful [Skill] that sacrificed one of the Rogue Red Termites front legs to attain a force unreachable before.

However, with her combat form and the stacked Reinforce, Ban thought that she might be able to withstand two or three Bullet Strikes. Of course, if possible, he ordered her not to confront the [Skill] Bullet Strike, head-on.

Dodge if necessary!

That was his order!

The two Rogue Red Termites move their body slowly towards Ban and Eva. They have a massive size, even bigger than normal dogs that Ban had seen.

Just like what the Book of Techniques stated, their agility was truly lacking.

Ban smiled at this as his confidence rose to a whole new level.

"Little Eva, use Fluid Release!"

Little Eva heard his command. Her four arms gathered together in front of her two mandibles.

A moment later, a crystal fluid was released from her mouth, aiming towards the two slow-moving Rogue Red Termites.

The [Skill] Fluid Release allowed little Eva to release a corrosive fluid to her enemy with a distance limitation of 10 Meters. It is a powerful [Skill] that could damage even those who have a higher Rank than her.

The two Rogue Red Termites saw the fluid and just like it was pre-planned, the large Rogue Red Termite went in front of the smaller one with confidence.
